“That’s implying that Youngkin is extra harmful than the president – former president,” host Anderson Cooper questioned. Jones responded by suggesting Youngkin was higher at subtly pushing racism than Trump.
He expanded on his argument by suggesting Youngkin was “enjoying footsie with the worst of Trumpism” and was only a racist who was enjoying the function of a warrior for folks:
He’s placing himself ahead as a champion of mother or father – this can be a referendum on mother and father proper. However he’s not speaking about, however he’s utilizing all the important race concept head fakes and head nods, which is a softer model of a really, virulent form of anti-black posture.
“And so, I believe this can be a very huge deal, as a result of if this can be a pathway – in case you can flirt with Trumpism in case you can flirt with Trump and nonetheless win within the suburbs, that’s a brand new growth for us,” he cautioned.
Jennings was up subsequent and he wasted no time in slapping down Jones’ vile assaults by declaring how the left and the media had “demanded, requested for, begged for, pleaded for Republican candidates who wouldn’t do what you simply stated which is, you understand, embrace Trumpism and form of run the form of races and elegance that he runs.”
Including: “So, a Republican comes alongside and does precisely what everyone says they need which is hey let’s have Republicans who do not act like Donald Trump. And you continue to beat them concerning the head and neck and declare they’re Donald Trump.”
After noting that President Joe Biden had ridiculously stated Youngkin was a white supremacist in a fleece vest, Jennings drove his level house. “This type of beating up Republicans over Donald Trump shouldn’t be going to work.

VAN JONES: To start with, it isn’t over. You do have the grassroots of us on the market preventing for this on the Democratic Social gathering aspect. The stakes are excessive. When this election is over in Virginia, we are going to know have we seen the emergence of the delta variant of Trumpism. The delta variant of Trumpism. In different phrases, Youngkin identical illness, however spreads so much sooner and might get much more locations. The suburbs in the event that they fall to him —
ANDERSON COOPER: That’s implying that Youngkin is extra harmful than the president – former president.
JONES: No, simpler to unfold.
COOPER: Okay.
JONES: Easier to unfold, as a result of if you’re what he’s doing. He’s enjoying footsie with the worst of Trumpism. He’s placing himself ahead as a champion of mother or father – this can be a referendum on mother and father proper. However he’s not speaking about, however he’s utilizing all the important race concept head fakes and head nods, which is a softer model of a really, virulent form of anti-black posture.

COOPER: Scott?
SCOTT JENNINGS: I’m sorry, I’ve to completely disagree with nearly every thing that you just stated.
JONES: Okay, inform me why.
JENNINGS: I’ll let you know why. As a result of Democrats since January the sixth — Actually since Donald Trump acquired elected, however let’s return to January 6. Have demanded, requested for, begged for, pleaded for Republican candidates who wouldn’t do what you simply stated which is, you understand, embrace Trumpism and form of run the form of races and elegance that he runs.
Youngkin has rejected it. He has stated it was flawed, he wasn’t a part of it. Donald Trump hasn’t been in Virginia campaigning for him. In truth, there’s a pent-up demand, for my part, to make America boring once more. With standard-issue run-of-the-mill conservative Republican candidates like Glenn Youngkin, and just like the candidates who did properly down-ballot in 2020.
So, a Republican comes alongside and does precisely what everyone says they need which is hey let’s have Republicans who do not act like Donald Trump. And you continue to beat them concerning the head and neck and declare they’re Donald Trump. After which, Joe Biden takes it a step additional and says, ‘hey, be careful, folks sporting sweater vests are white supremacists.’ Have you ever been in Virginia in October? Everybody’s sporting fleece vests.
This type of beating up Republicans over Donald Trump shouldn’t be going to work. That is why this race is so shut. Youngkin’s on the problems, Democrats are on Trump.
